    Maybe this is just my car, but it seems like the headlights arent as bright as other cars
    For instance, my dads 96 cutlass's headlights are tons brighter than mine.
    Is that just a GP thing, or is there something wrong with mine?
    And if so, is there any way to maybe clean the inside of the headlights?

    most likely its your headlights all cars get that problem after a while the housing for the lights get water in it or dirt or simply just have to remember if u have a 97-03 generation gp its in the 12-6 years old range im gonna soon be putting projectors headlights in and like 90%of the forms dont use the OEM headlights anyway

    they have kits at autozone and some people do it but ive never seen it done that its like "wow they look so much better" usually they dont look much different id say save the money and invest in new housings or go to a junkyard and find some in good shape

    If the inside's cloudy, you could try removing the headlight, then pouring a little isopropyl alcohol into it to clean it out. Chances are, however, the headlight lens is permanently cloudy/scratched, and the reflectors are spotted. New headlights will make a significant difference.

    Na, there is nothing wrong with your lights, I have mine pointed almost all the way up, I have brand new gm ones... Imo GP head lights just suck.
